Aion Online


Recommended Posts

Trying to decide whether i want to play this game, i find $15 a month (though that's not alot of money) hard to motivate myself to do. I played WoW for about a year, if i see this game is doing well a few months after release (no end game content issues and such like AoC) then i may purchase it.

Anyone know how to activate the preselection? I preordered the game through GAME.co.uk and they are sending it out for the 25th. Does that mean I miss out? :( I sent them an email but got no damn response.

I *think* you just need to login as per usual when using beta. I think the Aion guys are activating those that preorder because of different keys. I ordered through steam but I dont think I will be getting another key.

This is guesswork though but I dont think I have to do anything other then login and make 2 chars on the days.

You are aware the game has been out for around a year in Korea and China and has several major content patches? That is the advantage that this game has over games like AoC and Warhammer Online. I posted details of what has been added in these patches a page or two back if you want to see what all was added. I don't think end game content is lacking in the slightest at this point as that's mostly what all patches focused on. One even went so far as to add 5 levels to the game just to suit the new content.

Oh, cool - once the trial comes out (or i get a buddy key) i'll give it a shot.

Not quite a year but not too far away:

Not removed, but disabled. Wait until the patch is out tonight and the game has updated for the newest version before you try to remove it.

Then follow the instructions here:

I'm personally not going to remove it just yet. I don't see much of a point. It only activates when Aion is running. Once they officially disable it it won't ever run.

Anyone can login for pre-select? I keep getting "You have been disconnected from the server"

You have to have pre ordered before a certain date to get in I think. I want to say you had to do that before Sep 9th but that doesn't seem right, because I know a lot of people have ordered within the last week and are getting in.

If you go into your account on aiononline.com it should say your account type is preorder, or standard, if you bought through Steam or the NCsoft store.

Also they had to delay the log in about 40 minutes because they needed to apply a last minute patch. No biggie. As soon as the servers were up I got in instantly.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
